In this article, we’ll create a versatile draggable bottom sheet modal using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A bottom sheet modal is a UI component that can be dragged up or down to reveal or hide content. We’ll cover the entire process of creating this interactive element, which can be useful for various web applications.

Approach:
We’ll create a simple yet functional bottom sheet modal with the following key features:
- A “Show Bottom Sheet” button to trigger the modal’s appearance.
- A draggable handle for users to move the modal.
- Smooth animation and transitions for an enhanced user experience.
Steps To Create The Project:
- Create the HTML structure for the modal button and the bottom sheet modal itself.
- Apply CSS to style the button and the modal. Customize the look and feel to match your project’s design.
- Implement JavaScript to make the modal draggable, show/hide it, and handle touch events for mobile devices.
Example: Below is the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for creating the draggable bottom sheet modal:
HTML
<!-- index.html --><!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>
Draggable Bottom Sheet Modal
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<button class="show-modal">
Show Bottom Sheet
</button>
<div class="bottom-sheet">
<div class="sheet-header">
<div class="drag-handle"></div>
<button class="close-btn">
×
</button>
</div>
<div class="sheet-content">
<h2>
Bottom Sheet Modal
</h2>
<p>
This is a draggable bottom sheet
modal with different styling.
You can drag it up or down, close it,
and it works on touch-enabled devices.
